Baby Scrapbook

Mistifier · August 2012

Anyone keeping up with their baby scrapbook? I only have the first page done! I am having serious trouble being productive, except when caring for DS (because that is being productive of course!). Is anyone else finding it hard getting stuff like this done? If not, how do you do it?

Don't ask me how, but I am done with one scrapbook, and I'm starting a 2nd, because I couldn't fit everything in one. I am still not done with my wedding scrapbook, LOL, and I've been married 7 years, but Paul is almost 7 months and I'm done with his??? I worked on it over the summer when Paul goes to bed at 7pm. I also mapped it out first, so when I did have time to work on it, the pictures and supplies were already there on the page it would go on, I just had to assemble it.

Oh wow! Good job! That's a great idea laying it out before you put it together. I should work on it every evening after he goes to bed, that would really help with getting it done. Thanks!

P.S. I haven't even STARTED my wedding one! It will be two years in October.

Yep, same here! Married 3 years and haven't started mine, either! But just for the record--scrapbooking for babies is MUCH more fun than for a wedding.

Was motivated like the first 2 weeks home from hospital since then I've done squat!

I actually do digital scrapbooking. For me, it's so much easier than paper scrapping (I say this as someone who did HUNDREDS of paper scrapped layouts for my older daughter and had a whole room full of scrapbooking supplies). I love digital because I can start a page and save it if I get distracted, so it's easy to work on it in little chunks. I love that you never run out of supplies (anyone ever run out of adhesive at 10pm? LOL) and that you can undo if you make a mistake.

Honestly, it's just like paper scrapping except that you design it on the computer instead of with scissors and tape. I still print my pages and keep them in an album, and the products are realistic enough that my pages LOOK like my paper scrapped pages used to.

Here's one of my favorite layouts I've done:

*disclaimer* - I actually design digital scrapbook products. I started out as a scrapper, but I love it so much that I wanted to learn to make them. So, that's what I do for a living. Doesn't change the fact that I'm passionate about it though!

Hah. I keep up on BUYING stuff for my scrapbook, but I haven't done a single page yet!! Before I got pregnant I was a scrapbook fiend, I have 8 full books that I've done since I met DH, which was only 4 years ago! But I just don't have the drive anymore....

let me preface this by saying that I am NOT a scrapbooker.... but I started a really simple one a few months ago. I realized that I had a ton of pics that I wanted to organize, but can't put them all in frames. I just got some stuff from Walmart. And bc its really basic, it doesn't take too much time. That said, I don't forsee being able to work on it any more until... her birthday. Between moving twice before then, its not a priority at all!

I have the book and the supplies all in a box - and the photos neatly organized in folders on the computer. I haven't gotten to printing and getting down to business though.

I haven't done anything except buy paper and stickers, and start printing some of the photos. We moved twice as well since DD was born and I am just now finding my scrapbook stuff.

Before DD arrived a friend of mine and I did once a month scrapbook dates. She would bring whatever she was working on and her supplies over my house and we would spend all day hanging out and scrapping. I got soooo much done that way. Hopefully once we finish unpacking I'll be able to get back to that and get moving again.

Oh and the wedding scrapbook...it's partially done with the rest already laid out. And we got married 4 years ago in October. Stick out tongue

I was working on it when DD arrived.
